I sketched this from a photo in the LA Times on Sunday. Is he recognizable to the rest of you?

Well, I can't do this nearly as well as I used to. ;-)
I can’t decide if it’s a function of age or something else, but everything I draw feels cramped, like something is interfering between my eye and my hand. I took this same class three years ago and did really well, but this time I’m struggling.
THIS… IS… ANAHEIM!!
too aged
the definition below the eye ages him, as does he illusion of a hook nose caused by the bend coinciding with the shadow of the cap’s bill. The vertical line at the edge of his month also adds years to what is supposed to be a youthful face.
But I can tell who it is.
Thanks. I know it's not quite right, but I can blame some of it on the shadow that obscured his eyes, as well as using the newsprint version.
The shot I used is # 30 in this collection:

I need to find a larger copy of the original and work from that.
